Srinagar, May 16

Former president of the Travel Agents Association of Kashmir, Peerzada Faiyaz Ahmed has been elected the convener of the Responsible Tourism Society of India for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

“The Responsible Tourism Society of India is a dynamic team consisting of hoteliers, travel entrepreneurs, tourism specialists and conservation experts across the country. It will be our endeavour to promote tourism activities as things get back to normal in the wake of the Covid-19 lockdown,” said Faiyaz.

He said the RTSOI was earlier known as Ecotourism Society of India and the body would now “apart from natural environment also focus on the need for sustainability practices among urban and rural service providers, impact on local communities”.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
